SCMS 2K7 Blogging
I'm hoping to write a longer SCMS post later, but because of a mild cold, I haven't had a lot of energy. Plus, I'm poaching wireless and I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay connected. But Tim Anderson has been blogging quite a bit. I did get a chance to catch Drew Morton (of Dr. Mabuse fame) and Michael Newman's panel on independent cinema, which raised a number of useful questions about how we define indie cinema.
Also worth checking out: Michael has a great post about a number of films that are readily available on the web, including tons of Griffith, Melies, and Lumiere films, as well as films by Maya Deren and others. As Michael points out, there are enough films out there (on Google video, YouTube, etc) to supplement an entire film history course.
I'll be presenting on Unknown White Male tomorrow. More on that later.

Chuck -- if you run into my colleagues, introduce yourself! Joe Kickasola and Jim Kendrick are both friends and collagues from Baylor who are presenting at SCMS this year...

Hey, Chris--didn't get a chance to meet any of your Baylor colleagues (I think I saw one from a distance). In general, though, it was a great opportunity to catch up with some old friends and make some new ones.

Chuck - it was really nice finally to meet you at SCMS. I was pleased with the panel, and your paper was really insightful and interesting.
Cheers.

Erik, thanks for including me. I enjoyed the panel and your reading of various memory films. There were some interesting connections, in fact, between all three papers.
